The mailman delivers my mail. Some of it cards. Some of it packages. They are the gifts of my Christmas season this year. I have the fanciest tree. It's cut clean and made flat by a carpenter. (Likewas Christ himself.)and itsbranchesnot its trunkare in the ground.My gifts areunderneath.

Snowblowing and shoveling on Weston Street. A man in the background with a shovel: obvious envy for the mechanical blower.

I wore my snowshoes to work and walked past the back of China King Augusta Maine.

This snow stile made it possible for me to take a shortcut. Possible with snowshoes.

This sidewalk, turned survival course by snow plows, would have been impassible without snowshoes.
